Wired for Lightby School Of Seven Bells

This song was written by the late Benjamin Curtis and Alejandra Deheza and her twin sister Claudia Deheza. Here's an obituary of Benjamin Curtis, who died in 2013 at age 35 of T-cell Lymphoblastic Lymphoma: www.rollingstone.com

Guitarist Ben Curtis died on on December 29th, 2013 at age 34 of T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma. Curtis cited guitarists such as Michael Rother, Yoshimi P-We, and The Edge of U2 as some of his primary influences on guitar. He played a heavily effects-laden spacy style of guitar, reminiscent of late 1960s and early 1970s psychedelic rock, which you can really hear on this track.

Mercurial French author Rene Daumal defined 'alpinism' as 'the art of climbing mountains.' Alpinists are both athletes and mystics. They practice 'pure' climbing, hands gripping the cragged incline sans rope or guide, forcing their bodies ever-upward in the name of earthly enlightenment. 'Alpinisms,' says Daumal enthusiast and guitarist Alejandra Deheza, 'are mountain-climbing songs.' -- Alejandra Deheza and her twin sister Claudia Deheza are the faces behind the majestic vocals that harmonize on this great debut album from School of Seven Bells.: consequence.net
